A PLUCKY WOMAN.

| saw really heroic and courageous
woman at the White House the other
day. | mean Mrs. Kidd, of New York,
who came here with Nine. Barrios. As
she sat upon a sofa in the Green Room
clad IN rich dress of white satin and
pearls, at ease, enjoying all of the sur
rounGings, one would hardly imagine that
she lad had a hand-to-hand fight with d
desperate black villain she found under
her bed one night, and that she won. 1t
was some years ago in New York City,
and was the sensation of the day.
Mrs. Kidd then living in handsome
house just in the rear of the Windsor
Hotel. One evening her husband, who
is a large manufacturer of and wholesale
dealer in liquors having succeeded to the
business of S. n. Pike, of Cincinnati and
Grand Opera House fame, was detained
at his downtown store longer than usual
after dinner. Mrs. Kidd finally went up
to her chamber, and from some Fremont
ton looked under the bed, when 10! and
horrible to relate, she found hiding there
a black giant. Did she faint, or run, or
scream?
Not bit of it.
She pulled him out, and fought with
him desperately, and pushed him down
long flight of stairs, and took away the
pistol he held in one hand, and threw him
down the stone steps of the stoop of the
house
And then she tainted. 1t was the pro-
per time to faint. The colored brute was
arrested before he had gone block, and
the police authorities of New York pre-
sented the pistol to Mrs. Kidd in token
of her bravery. [ tell you, one can not
always tell what lady in white satin
may do if circumstances require it.

THE assembly killed the Joint resolution


providing for an amendment to the con-
stitution requiring voter to be citizen
of the United States. The bill was made
the occasion of a number of haraugues
designed to stir the preiudlces of foreign
ers It Is too much to expect a cool
dispassionate investigation of subject
to determine what is best, IN the Wiscon-
sin legislature, whenever an appeal to
national bigotry promises yield of party
capital or individual assistance to the
man who is nourishing a boom. The
assembly chamber resounded with the
eloquence of these extremely liberal
minded gentleman who perceived know
nothingism in the requirement that a
voter should be citizen before he has
extended to him citizens privileges. A
foreigner living one year in Wisconsin
has as much voice in the affairs of the
state as one thoroughly identified with
its interests. And to attempt to make
a distinction,-to give to citizenship some
privilege which may distinguish it from
mere inhabitancy is knownothingism. 1t
was not to deny anything to persons of
foreign birth, but to require them to
identify themselves with the interests of
the country before assuming to govern
it. And this is acknowledgement.
Mr.. Winans is lawyer of some reputa-
ton and has been a congressman and it
is presumed he is possessed of some in
telligence. Can he tel wherein the
advantage lies of being United States
citizen? Is it not disadvantage when
one can escape its responsibilities while
enjoying its privileges? Mr.. Winans
certainly casts discredit upon the duties
of American citizenship when he assumes
that any foreigner can intelligently exer-
else them after one years residence in
this country. How mean and insignif-
cant appears our boosted popular govern
ment resting upon the intelligence and
patriotism of people, when the serfs of
foreign monarchies -despotisms in fact,
become sovereigns after one years resi-
dence. 1t takes the politician who seeks
votes through prejudice to produce abso-
lutte equality in society. How does Mr..
Winans expect to gain strength by this
move? A German society asked that
citizenship be required as a suffrage
qualification. And does Mr.. Winans
believe that the people who are anxious
to see citizenship endowed with some
privilege and the country governed by
people who have interests in it, are vot-
ing cattle who cannot resent such mis-
representation as that of which he has
been guilty?
The justifable hostility to the old
knownothingism which left no avenue to
citizenship open to persons of foreign
birth, is not SO blind as to confound this
cOmmendable effort to limit the elective
franchise to those capable of exercising
its privilege, with that effort of intoler-
ance now a matter of history. The know
nothing spirit has been supplanted by
demagogy and the latter is more danger
ous, more offensive less patriotic and far
more deserving of reprobation. Will Mr..
Winans be a candidate for governor on
that issue?

LOUIS CORNERS.

Henry Landua, Esq, young man of

day, cut his foot quite severely.
A man visited Kiel last week who has
discovered contracted method of COM
putting interest and was willing to impart
his knowledge for dime Most all the
people of that city engaged him.
A man from northern Schleswig, lately
showed his giant strength" by brutally
beating a man from Kiel. The beaten
party sought consolation in the law, and
it cost the Schleswig man the pretty sum
of $50. Shame on man who sees no
other motive in life than the destruction
of his fellow men.
Night school is being held for the last
three months in Rockville. Is members
are enrolled and doing faithful work
under the judicious management of their
tutor-Mr. A. W. Dassler.
On Friday last a man of suspicious
demeanor passed through here, on his
way to Centerville. About one hour
after he was followed and captured near
School Hill by Constable Stier, from
Kiel, who had warrant for his arrest.
This man took lodging in a farm house
somewhere near Kiel, and during the
night managed to steal two suits of
clothes, and made his retreat He was
taken back to Kiel to await his punish
ment, and will probably not have an
occasion to steal clothes again very soon
as they are given free in Wisconsin

CONKLING AND BUTLER.

1t is a mystery where General Butler
finds the flower that he wears in his
buttonhOle. In Boston he always has
May flower before anybody else has
thought of looking for them. In New
York 1t is easy enough to get posy, but
when the General alights from sleeper
early IN the morning with a pretty com
bination of flowers in the left lapel, the
wonder is natural where he found them.
He is great admirer of flowers, and
rare, perfect blossom out of season
delights him more than a good retainer.
The dandelion, too, is favorite, and he
once said that if this wild flower were
rare it would be reckoned among the
choicest of blossoms. Roscoe Conkling
likes to put bud in his buttOnhole, and
Congressman Springer would sooner for
get his breakfast than his buttonhOle
bouquet. Unlike General Butler, Conk-
ling has great fondness for costly and
strikingly colored handkerchiefs. A soft
bandanna is good enough for Butler to
cool his brow with, and he has one or
two that will rival Judge Humans
famous bandannas. Conkling leans to-
ward handkerchief with a rich cardinal
border, and he is no mean artist in the
arrangement of them so that the tip with
its bit of color shall appear to be strug
Cling to get out of his pocket Senator
Beck is the handkerchief fend of the
Senate. He carries them In all his coat
pockets, and if the session is long and he
has made a speech he regrets that he
didn't bring three or four more up to the
Capitol with him. Conkling never wears
a silk hat, and it was general Hustled who
answered this question that was put to
him, will Conkling ever go back to the
Senate?" thus, and like the ightning's
flash: Not until he wears silk hat"
Hustled euphemism for never.-NeaC

EDITOR PILoT:-A few evenings ago.
being attracted to the door by the sound
of innumerable voices. both male and fe-
male, in the street, North Main,) | step
ped out, and finding the street thronged
with people of all ages, full of vivacity,
animation and glee, moving hither and
thlther, and while some in countless num-
bers were pushing their way up the hill
IN squads eager to reach the top, others
in huge masses as if strung upon a string
came coursing by upon strengthening
vehicles, called "bobs," freighted with
human life, at fearful speed. Curious
to know little more about the cause of
the excitement and hilarity so freely in
dulged IN, | stepped little further out
into the street and almost involuntarily
l found myself moving up the hill with
the crowd, and as | went along the feel
ings of my boyhood days crept over me
to such an extent that my mind was car
RED back to similar scenes of other years
when the luxury of 'down-hill riding, >
though a little differently neither
unknown nor unenioyed, and the massive
snOwdrifts of those ancient years loomed
IN my imagination like the towering chalk
mountains of Upper Egypt. Arrived at
the top of the hill and awakened from
my reyery by the jostle of the crowd
surging to and fro, was kindly invited
n r11 WI hot l.
which invitation / accepted with thanks.
and IN a minute more we were spinning
along down the street like railroad train
and with nearly equal velocity and no
danger of collision. On coming to a stand
still at the end of the route the exhilara-
ton was so great that L could not resist
the temptation to repeat the exercise not
withstanding the little trudging afoot
that it required.
Really, Mr.. Editor, [ know of nothing
that has transpired in Manitowoc for
many years that has furnished so much
fun, merriment and healthful recreation
as the so-called ''coasting track" of the
boys, so well and industriously fitted up
and enjoyed by them and the girls during
the past three weeks. Surely, Main street
has made itself famous. Indeed there is
nothing like it; the gently inclined plane,
and the length of the route, with freedom
from dangers can't be beat. And who
will for a moment question the above or
the exhllarating effect of such sport, not
only upon children but upon adults as
well, when he is informed that it has at
tracted the attention of nearly all classes,
and many have participated in it and
been both amused and delighted Even
lawyers, doctors, druggists and bankers,
as well as ministers, if not editors, have
evidently felt interested in it, if they have
not identified themselves with the move
ment, and graced the street with their
presence. All have had deal of fun and
evidently enjoyed themselves hugely
But now the track is nearly played out,
and few more warm genial days will tell
the story of its fate and oblige fun-seek-
ers TO wait another year for its renewal.

FROM LIFE TO DEATH


is but a moment if rheumatism or neural
gia strikes the heart. These diseases are
the m st painful and the most dangerous
of any to which human kind is liable.
They dy from one part TO another without
a moments warning, and iniments and
other outward applications are in them
selves dangerous because they are liable to
drive the disease to some vital organ and
cause instant death. Rheumatism and
neuralgia are diseases of the blood, and can
only be reached by remedy which will
drive from the blood the dangerous acids.
Such a remedy is Athlophoros. thas been
thoroughly tested and is a safe, sure cure.
Mrs. r. F. Bowers, 902 State St., Racine,
Wis, saws: II have been troubled with
rheumatism for the last three years, not
suffering as much pain as some do with
the line complaint, my difficulty being
stiifne7s of the joints, 1t was mostly In my
knee oInts, SO that it was with much diff
fculty that could bend Them especially
in going up and down stairs. During the
time have been troubled in this way
have tried many different medicines with
out any good effects. Athlophoro8 coming
to my notice, and being anxious to get
some relief, | thought | would tryit. After
using it for a short time / was able to bend
my knees easily, and could go up and down
stairs without suffering any Inconvenience.
GAINESVILLE, Wisconsin.
/ was seriously afflicted with rheuma-
tism in my hips and lower limbs, SO that il
was with great trouble and intense pain
that | could move around. | have now
used one bottle of your Athlophoros with
the most satisfactory results.

Every druggist should keep Athlophoros
and Athlophoros Pills, but where they can
not be bought of the druggist the Athlo-
phoros To-, ll2 Wall ST., New York, will
send either Carriage paid on receipt of
regular price, which is $1.t0 per bottle

For liver and kidney diseases, dyspepsia, in
digestion, weakness, nervous debility, diseases
of women, constipation, headache, impure

AMONG the discourses by Chicago
preachers last Sunday on the life and
work of Henry Ward Beecher, one of the
most eloquent was that delivered by the
Rev. DIR. Thomas. The following cutting
words were used by him in speaking of
the action of the Chicago minister who
refused to join in a resolution of condol-
ence rendered to Mrs. Beecher because
the great Plymouth pastor had the bold
ness to maintain views that did not
confirm to the strict orthodoxy of the
Congregational church,
1t took the orthodox priests and those
high IN the church toplait the crown of
thorns and place it upon the head of the
suffering Christ; and it takes cold
orthodox Congregational minister to re-
fuse sympathy to the dying Beecher.

ever since the anarchists were condemned.
There seems to be the quintescence of in

But when it is proposed to begin with
them they object most strenuously.
Seems ike as if they don't want
